Some good weird shit there. I sent this one to my partner: https://www.oglaf.com/skin-tight/ (NSFW)

What the fuck

XKCD

Calvin & Hobbes I guess doesn't count.

Pepper and Carrot

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

That looks great!

The collaborative open source approach is very interesting too

Always a fan of Slack Wyrm

Pokemon the Previous Generation

Cheif O Brian at work

These are the main ones apart from my crippling xkcd addiction

Ive been following Questionable Content and Grrl Power for years.

Also another +1 for Pepper & Carrot.

[–] savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I recently stopped reading Questionable Content, it just feels like a mockery of what it used to be. I resisted it for a while but eventually I just couldn't take it anymore. I think my breaking point was somewhere around 1015?

[–] JollyRoberts@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I tend to go in bursts. A week or three of not readimg, then catching up all at once.

Its just one web comic ive really imvested in the characters that is still around. I do still enjoy most of the storylines.

[–] hi_im_catherine@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I go back and re-read the older comics a lot. Every once and a while I'll say fuck it and do a full re-read, but that gets harder every day lol. I have attachments to so many of the characters, I've been reading it since freshman year in high school - but even then, that was like 7 years into the comic lmao

[–] a_random_fox@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I don't have a single favorite one, so here is a top three, in no particular order:

Freefall The first webcomic i read, started in 1998 and still updating three times a week.

El Goonish Shive Another longrunner, started 2002 and still going. Helped me with figuring out some gender stuff.

How to be a werewolf Newest one on the list, starting in 2015, also still going.

Slackwyrm

Scandinavia and the World

[–] shufflerofrocks@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think False Knees has to be it. Beautiful illustrations and heartwarming writing

Edit: One of my favourites from them It's part of a chill 31-part storyline, which I recommend reading from the start

[–] LiarBesidalAll@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mr Lovenstein has some great shit

And of course xkcd will always have a special place in my heart

[–] toothpaste_sandwich 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've always admired the Perry Bible Fellowship. Not a lot of new content these days but it's all gold.

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Wow, they really are great!

[–] Gurfaild@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For a long time, it used to be Square Root of Minus Garfield - I actually got my username from there.

Nowadays, it's probably xkcd.

[–] animist@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

xkcd, smbc

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Florkofcows is great.

[–] savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I'm a big fan of the weekly roll (webtoons), a silly fun D&D comic that used to release weekly, now is a bit more sporadic but still good.

Also on the subject of sporadic D&D comics, The Order of the Stick is an extremely long running comic that is very well made and humorous.

Ended now, but Go Get a Roomie is a slice of life LGBTQ+ comic, mildly NSFW, that's fun to read and currently doing a rerun.

And as everyone else has said, XKCD is always a classic.

[–] eggsandwich@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

I'm not sure if it counts as a traditional webcomic, but the One Punch Man Webcomic is definitely my favorite.

[–] mkultramkii@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

PBF and Extra Fabulous are probably my favorites. Strange Planet gets an honorable mention.

[–] NeonPayload@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago

Fisheye Placebo

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The Pigeon Gazette

Three Panel Soul, which doesn't update often any more, but the archives have some real gold.

Twistwood Tales is clever and cute and sometimes really tugs at the heartstrings.

Dustinteractive, which has ended it's run.

OGLAF once in a blue moon when I need a dose of the bizarre.

Also xkcd, SMBC, and Perry Bible Fellowship, of course.

Recently found litterboxcomics. Works best if you are a parent.

[–] butter@lemmy.jamestrey.com 2 points 2 years ago

Eastcostitnotes, at least lately. Couldn't find a good link, so here's an Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/eastcoastitnotes/

Xkcd is my favorite of all time.

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm boring. Xkcd and Oglaf.

C&H

[–] yelgo@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

FlorkofCows. Not the most traditional webcomic, but I love just how off the wall and unpredictable his comics are. Goes from wholesome to hilarious to WTF on a dime.
